Who Marty Works With
Marty specializes in working with thoughtful, mature adults who are ready to go deeper than just managing symptoms. Many of his clients are creative, spiritually curious, or navigating grief, compassion fatigue, or relationship difficulties.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re functioning but not really living, this is the work that changes that.

- Feel more in control of anxiety and stress
- Break out of cycles that keep you feeling stuck
- Process painful or traumatic experiences at their root
- Build on your existing strengths and resilience
- Improve your relationships and how you communicate
- Move toward a life that feels more balanced, purposeful, and aligned with who you actually are
Primary Areas of Focus
Trauma and PTSD — EMDR Therapy If you’re carrying experiences that won’t stop showing up in your present life, whether through anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or patterns you can’t seem to break, trauma therapy with EMDR can help you process what happened at a deeper level than talk therapy alone can reach. Marty is EMDR Certified through EMDRIA. [Learn more about Trauma and PTSD therapy →]
Couples Counseling Whether you’re navigating conflict, emotional disconnection, communication breakdown, or trying to rebuild trust after a breach, couples counseling gives you and your partner a structured, supportive space to do real relational work together. Available online in California and Texas and in person in Petaluma. [Learn more about Couples Counseling →]
Anxiety Support Anxiety has a way of making everything feel urgent, overwhelming, and out of control. Whether yours shows up as constant worry, physical tension, panic, or a persistent sense of dread, therapy can help you understand what’s driving it and build tools that actually work.

Depression Support Depression isn’t just sadness. It’s the heaviness, the flatness, the sense of going through the motions without really being present in your own life. If that resonates, you don’t have to white-knuckle your way through it alone. [Learn more about Depression Support →]
Compassion Fatigue If you spend your days caring for others, whether as a therapist, nurse, caregiver, pastor, or parent, you know what it feels like when there’s nothing left to give. Compassion fatigue is real, it’s serious, and it’s treatable. Therapy can help you restore what’s been depleted and find your way back to yourself. [Learn more about Compassion Fatigue support →]
Missionary and Global Worker Counseling and DebriefsIf you are a missionary or global worker, you can receive specialized counseling to help you navigate the unique emotional, relational, and cultural challenges of life on the field, as well as the transitions before, during, and after your service.

A general community version is currently in development. Available for in-person events throughout California. [Learn more about Seminars and Workshops →]
Additional Areas of Support
Marty also works with adults navigating:
Grief and Loss Loss changes everything, and it rarely moves on anyone else’s timeline. Whether you’re grieving a person, a relationship, an identity, or a season of life, therapy offers a space to process grief at its own pace without having to perform recovery for anyone else.
Addiction and Recovery Support Recovery is rarely just about the substance or behavior. It’s about what’s underneath it. Therapy can help you understand the deeper patterns driving addictive cycles and build a more sustainable path forward.
Abuse Recovery Healing from abuse takes more than time. It takes the right support. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to process what happened, rebuild your sense of self, and reclaim your life on your own terms.
About EMDR Therapy
If you’ve experienced trauma or distressing life events, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help your brain process those experiences and reduce their emotional grip. It’s especially effective for trauma, PTSD, and long-standing patterns that feel impossible to shift through talk therapy alone.
Marty is EMDR Certified through EMDRIA, meaning he has met the highest standard of training and supervised practice in this approach.

Therapy Intensives Focused therapeutic work in a condensed format, available as a 3-hour virtual session, a 6-hour single day, or a 12-hour two-day intensive. Ideal when you want real momentum without waiting months to feel it. [Learn more about Therapy Intensives →]
